    Hi,

    Just wondering, are there major differences between BPP and DBS when it comes to studying Cima?
    Would you recommend one over the other, and if so, why?


    I'm trying to decide which one to go with at the moment for my first Cima exam.

    Thanks :)

    hi,

    as I near the end of my CIMA studies I can say it it not necessarily the college that is good, it is the lecturers they have running the various courses. There are some bad lecturers and there are good ones.

    I'm not sure what the rules are here in relation to posting opinions on individual lecturers are. It could be dangerous territory. I'm not saying anything in particular but I've done courses in BPP (Dublin and Limerick) and DBS and it all depends on the lecturer.

    Certainly if you are in the early stages it may not be as much of an issue. If you want send me a PM and if I have any experience of the lecturers involved I will send you my opinion.

    I've been doing them a long time so I've experiences of quite a few.

    Cheers,
    Mr_Edge.

    Hi

    Can i ask the same question please if there is anyone out there who has done the cima strategic exams recently. Dont know whether to choose DBS, Griffith or go online with BPP. Any thoughts on Lectures to recommend would be great. I have a full time job and kids so fairly time restrained.
    Thanks in advance

    Independent Colleges and First Intuition (based in the old BPP building in lad lane) are both offering CIMA classes starting in a few weeks.
